Lectures

Planning

Ensure necessary materials are available at
least 48hrs in advance where possible. If advance publication is
not possible, individual consideration may need to be given, for
example audio file or CDs or print handouts. You may wish to record
the lecture as it is given.

Recording lectures allows all students to
review content and can be very useful for clarification and
revision for the majority of students. This can be done via the
podium facility in a main lecture theatre in liaison with the
LARTU, or by using Helius
Presenter (previously known as PointeCast).

Make sure powerpoint slides meet the minimum
format guidance re fonts and colours as described above. It is
beneficial to ensure that your introductory slide clearly
outlines the structure of the lecture.

Consider the physical space in the light of
any known disabilities amongst your student group. Where known, any
physical constraints on rooming should have been notified to CETTS
by the Faculty Academic Disability Contact and incorporated into
the timetable in advance, but if access issues arise they need to
be fed back to one of the Faculty Disability Contacts
immediately.

If using video clips or images, make sure they
are appropriately annotated. Video clips may require subtitling for
those with hearing impairments or further audio description for
those with visual impairment where the soundtrack does not
adequately describe the action. This requires forward planning and
may need the assistance of the Alternative Formats Unit in the
Library. If using images, ensure the image is titled and
briefly described.
